~ Crafty Secrets Design Team Challenge ~ Gift Bag/Envelope

Welcome to the October challenge for the Crafty Secrets' DT!
This project was SO FUN!!! Let me show you ....



Each of the DT members used a tutorial that you can find HERE to create a paper sack from an envelope. And we each got to pick a theme, so I chose "Thank you" and then made this sack using a brown envelope, burlap, satin wings, cameo setting, lace trims, and these goodies from Crafty Secrets:

- Love Mail creative scraps

- Mini Frames stamp set (chain stamp)

- Grand Greetings stamp set (sentiment stamp)



and as part of the assignment, I made a card to go with the gift bag.





Another cute sentiment from Grand Greetings, and a cameo setting with an image from Mini Vintage creative scraps. the background pattern is from Love Mail. I used some bits of trim and a burlap scrap salvaged from the bin ;) ...

HEARTWARMING VINTAGE BLOG


And I just totally shocked myself by looking back at the archives........... I've been blogging for a YEAR already? how amazing is that. I've gotten bad at updating recently. I'mso busy with classes, practice, work, and so many other things. As time permits, I will keep this blog updated if anyone wants to read still (raise your hand if you do).

Last week my family took a vacation up in Cameron Highlands (Malaysia).Here's a few I have handy to show you.

We saw loads of pretty flowers...



Gorgeous scenery...



STRAWBERRIES!! at the strawberry farm! ...





Ok that's all for now...

p/s ... For those of you who asked, the little felt flower on the card in my last post was sent to me by my friend Annette. I bet she made them on her own, so if you want some of your own, go and bug her :D (sorry Annette) ....... I think she used to sell them in her etsy shop.
